ChatGPT and Code Refactoring

One thing I’ve noticed this past week is that chatGPT can be really useful when refactoring code. I basically had a function that I wanted to grab data from and calculate the total for several different instances. I was able to copy and paste the code in chatGPT and it spit out a version of the function that would do this same activity over and over again for the different instances.

Here are some things that chatGPT can help you with in regards to code refactoring:

If you need help restructuring your code for better readability or maintainability, you can discuss your current code organization, and ChatGPT can provide suggestions for improvements or alternative structures.

Naming conventions are important for code readability. ChatGPT can assist in suggesting meaningful variable and function names based on the purpose of the code.

ChatGPT can offer alternative approaches to solving a particular coding problem, giving you insights into different ways to implement functionality.
